    As long as it's in the middle of the tire and not by the sidewall, it could be taken to an RS Strauss and for $21 they take the tire off, patch from the inside, mount and balance.. This could turn into a slow leak if you hit a bump the wrong way or park the wrong way.

    Yeah, as long as the nail isn't on the sidewall about $5 at WalMart will get you all you need to plug it. Takes about 5 minutes of your time for the work.

    you could plug it or its like $10 to get walmart to plug/patch it. it holds better than just a plug. you could just do it yourself like others said which is what i would do.

    just get it fixed as everyone else said.. if you go to a private mechanic often, they'll probally just do it for free as mine did when I had the G.

    If you are doing it yourself, just be patient because it may not work on the first try.
